Submission Guidelines

I am using PnP to display a list time in my SP 2016 on-premise for a list that has a column called ServiceContact with People or Group type. I can easily display all fields but not ServiceContact. I have limited JS skill and is wondering if you could help. Attached find a screenshot of my REST API call displayed in ATOMS. I also attached my JS code file.

[PathToSharePoint]

You are not using expand correctly, see the documentation. Your query should look like this:

$pnp.sp.web.lists.getByTitle("ListName")
.items
.select(...)
.expand(...)
.get()

Not related to the library actually. Generic JS dev question. We encourage asking such in community forums or Gitter channel.
To reach a property as in any JS code you should provide a path to the prop, e.g. result[i].ServiceContact.EMail with all corresponding validations and checks. Regarding library-specific, I'd say two things: one - expand is better be places into .expand() method and another one, it's likely, you have incorrect expand and /Id part should not be there.
